The ability of the people speaking to (mostly) keep straight faces as their colleagues collapse in laughter is pretty amazing.

(The Speaker of the House cracks up.)

My thought exactly. They did that with a straight face. It was awesome.

To be fair, the way Question Period works is the Minister would have been given the question ahead of time to prepare an answer.

But it’s still a funny bit.

This kind of question wouldn’t need to be given in advance as it didn’t need technical or a lengthy response. A question on the “order paper” also needs a 48 hour lead time. That’s not to say that it wasn’t a question on the “order paper” but it wouldn’t be required of them.

Even if it wasn’t required, this looks like a question/answered that was prepared ahead of time. Still pretty amazing that they pulled it off.

I thought Canadians were nice, but everybody was just talking in the background the entire time. No respect at all. For shame Canada.

Also, what’s up your tie minister Baird?

Steven Fisher

Canadian politicians are not true Canadians.

Glad to see our Canadian brothers and sisters are keeping it serious. You guys rock!

Just a thought

“Where were you?”

“We went down to Tulalip.”

“How long were you gone?”

“About six hours.”

“How much are you bringing back?”

“Ninety five dollars.”

“Any alcohol?”

“No.”

“See any zombies?”

“What? No! Hell no!”

“Scratched by any zombies?”

“N-uunnngh.”

“Bit by any?”

“BRAAINS.”

“Step out of the car, sir.”

Awesome Steven, fucking awesome!

Thanks! But reflecting on this, I think the last line should probably be “Please pull ahead to inspection bay 2.”
